Insightful!
If your view of Alan Greenspan is one of a humorless, pin-striped central banker, Jerome Tuccille has someone he'd like to introduce you to: Alan Greenspan, the jazz musician, libertarian philosopher and wooer of media princesses. In this lively and engaging book, Tuccille weaves together Greenspan's biography, a colorful history of the times and an analysis of political and economic philosophy. Of special note is the book's detailed look at how the thinking of Ayn Rand influenced Greenspan. We from getAbstract strongly recommend this book for such intellectual fare, as well as its juicer tidbits - like Greenspan's torrid fling with Barbara Walters.

This is a fascinating look at this most powerful and influential banker, whose mind for economical and political thinking is world-renown. Even better, Tuccille explores his relationship with Ayn Rand, the legendary novelist and philosopher, and what made their relationship tick. Filled with anecdotes, and incredibly detailed research, this look at Greenspan is engrossing. Anyone interested in economics, politics, or just a good biography should not miss this!
